9. Chapter 9

The eldest lord has been in a good mood lately. According to the age of the little brother, he is considered an old man. The man is a little bit difficult to say, and when he is about to become a grandfather, he gives birth to a young son, which has to make him feel that he is still majestic, and then it is promoted to the court, and for no reason he has a beautiful vision that he can work for forty years. In fact, the age of the eldest man is physiologically too common to give birth to a son, and on his birthday in a few days, he will only be thirty-four (virtual) years old. In the 21st century, you may not be married, let alone have children. In ancient times, people with good family conditions were not necessarily worse than modern people. However, medical care is too backward, and he died early. Before liberation, the average life expectancy of more than 30 years of age was pulled down by children who died young, and it was common for healthy people to live in their seventies and eighties without worrying about food and clothing. It's just that the medical care is really poor, and when I am fifty or sixty years old, it is inevitable that I will not have a cold or flu, and I will hang up if I am not careful. Therefore, at the age of thirty-four, it is hypocritical to call old decay, and if you want to say that you are not young, you can also say it. Thinking of his youngest son, he walked with Piao'er for many days. It's out again, and I can be closer to the Yue family. Well, I have already revised a book the day before yesterday, and I will write it in a few days, and send the naughty paw prints of the four girls to contact the feelings. The four girls have a good idea, print a few more, and send a copy with the brother-in-law! Thinking of this, I hurriedly called the chief to prepare a serious gift and send it when the time came.

Ye Mansion is a family in the capital, and many people give gifts on the eldest son's birthday, even if it is a small birthday. The Ye Mansion has never been separated, and others have given gifts, and the old lady is always in charge. Only some consumables, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, satin fabric, which are not very expensive, are distributed according to the season. Unexpectedly, after the New Year, the library was full, and the gifts received on the eldest lord's birthday were simply divided into various rooms, just to make spring clothes, and then toss when the time comes. A few lifts of pen and ink cloth were sent to the big house, this is a housework, there is no aunt to intervene, Chen is inconvenient, so Ting Yao will take care of it. The eldest man came back early today without incident, so he watched things at home, Tingfang was still studying, and the family of four in the upper room was so unhappy that they couldn't eat Aunt Zhou's vinegar meal.

Aunt Zhou was originally the daughter of a good family, and her family opened a gold and silver shop, because there were too many ruffians and sesame mung bean officials who scraped the ground, and she was busy all year round to make a fortune for others. It happened that after the Chen family gave birth to their eldest daughter, there was no movement, and the Ye family was looking for a concubine who was good to raise. leg, almost broke his leg, and then sent his daughter's eight characters to the eldest master. As far as the Ye family is concerned, she is just a concubine, looking for someone to look at, she is a beautiful embryo, and she is not that kind of demon. The charming wicker, the round face and two small dimples look very pleasing. The people who looked at each other replied to the old lady, asked Chen, and then came in the door. In the first year, he gave birth to a big fat boy, and since then he has gained a firm foothold. Even the Zhou family is decent, the ruffians and hooligans will no longer dare to come to the door, and if the officials and ruffians are not afraid of not looking good, they will not collect taxes from their families. At the same time, the big house has only had one brother in Tingshu for a long time, and the Zhou family is willing to give thousands of taels of silver every year. After a long time, Aunt Zhou acted as a deputy wife, she has money in her hands, and there will be no shortage of flatterers. will please the lord even more, and the lord will rest in her house for most of the year, and outsiders look more decent than his wife. There are people who give gifts to her on her birthday, although a chief official enters the old lady's courtyard, the brilliance on his face can't be covered. The aunts in the Ye Mansion, even the old aunts, she is the first.

Who would have expected that there would be unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and Chen's old clam gave birth to pearls, and he got a brother. Since then, the faces of the family have changed when they see her. Now as soon as the old man enters the house, he doesn't look at Tingshu's homework first, just raises his feet and walks to the upper room, hugs his youngest son for a kiss, and throws Tingshu on the side, how can he complain that Aunt Zhou is unhappy? The twists and turns in the inner house, others don't know, doesn't she know? In the past, because of how much good I had, now I have to spit it out. Fortunately, the little brother was born prematurely, and it was not good when he first landed, and he was as thin as a little mouse, and he may not be able to live. And her sons are about to go to school, so everyone doesn't dare to snub her.

The next day is a break, a break from work and school. The eldest lord went to his colleagues early in the morning to drink and enjoy plum blossoms in the garden on the outskirts of the city. Tingshu finally got a little bit of money that the brothers and sisters had put together the day before yesterday, and took advantage of Xiu Mu to carry it out. Aunt Zhou helped herself, and the abacus crackled. The big head is Tingyao, Tingshu and Tingwu - each has a subsidy from the rich man's mother, and it is not bad for money. Tinglan has a weak heart, and Aunt Sun is from a girl's background, which is better than Tingfang who uses a hairpin ring to pay off her debts. The next room is just a personal favor, and it's just a matter of three or five. Calculated that there are three or four hundred taels, that is, it is enough to do good things in the house. Aunt Zhou pouted with Tingfang's hairpin ring: "How can this be calculated?" โ€

Tingshu said: "Go to ...... Uncle cashed it in the shop, how much it should be worth. Uncle Hengzhu can't lose. "It was difficult for an uncle to scream, and it was embarrassing for the concubine, and the uncle of the Chen family could call it so confidently that his uncle had to secretly call a sentence or two. It's still a lawsuit when it's heard. The whole Zhou family felt that it was justified according to blood, and they were in a dilemma to put him in the middle.

Aunt Zhou said: "He doesn't lose, we don't look good." Do good deeds as jewelry, can you listen? โ€

Tingshu was inexplicable: "What can't be heard?" The filial piety of children, as well as those who cut shares and serve their relatives. โ€

Aunt Zhou snorted twice: "You don't understand." Come on, I'll give her the hairpin ring, and give her a few taels of silver. โ€

Tingshu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make up for her." โ€

Aunt Zhou stomped her feet: "You are solid-eyed, you are her sister, she may not be your brother." You've got a serious girl! โ€

Tingshu didn't want to argue with Aunt Zhou, so he only said: "I took the little maid out and quickly finished it, and the old memory of the province is hanging." It will be the first month, and the pharmacies will open their doors, and they can no longer be delayed. โ€

Aunt Zhou sneered: "You just have to take them to heart, how can I still have a mother-in-law." โ€

Tingshu had a headache, he was very reluctant to get involved in the battle between positive and bias, and shouted to the little guy to raise his feet and leave. Aunt Zhou trembled angrily: "Okay, okay, I gave birth to you for nothing!" I was very dissatisfied, turned my head to see Tingfang's hairpin ring, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and went straight to the upper room.

It's easy to take a vacation, and Ting Fang rests peacefully. Learning is a long process, one by one is the right way, and you should have fun and not abuse yourself on your day off. Because the eldest master's birthday is approaching, the family is preparing to set up wine and sing operas, and there are many complicated things, Ting Yao was taken to the internship by the old lady, and only Yu Tingfang stood by the cradle to tease her younger brother. The little brother is not yet full moon, what do you know? She giggled with a smile to herself. Aunt Zhou came in and pouted quietly, first gave the Chen family a salute, and then put the hairpin ring on the table without smiling: "It's not that I rely on the old and sell the old, but the four girls should be careful, the personal objects are said to be thrown away, so that outsiders can go, but how can it be good?" โ€

Chen already knew about this, and had secretly prepared something to make up for it, but who expected Aunt Zhou to come to the door, looked at the expression, and lowered her face: "It's just a few hairpins, what is it worth, but let my aunt worry about it." Four girls, I haven't come to thank my aunt yet. โ€

Ting Fang is a good and upright blessing: "I was praying for my mother, and since the sisters are all together, I can't avoid vulgarity." Today's rest, do you want to point for the eldest brother? It's all a few of us who don't understand the calculations, and we're tired of my aunt. The hairpin ring is also a special trip. Saying that, he called out to the girl, "Narcissus, send the things in the veil with the eldest brother, so as not to mislead him." โ€

Aunt Zhou tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Your eldest brother feels sorry for you, so he took the private money to make up for you." The personal belongings of the girl's house are still put away, and they flow outside, so that people can talk. โ€

Without waiting for Chen to speak, Ting Fang was already full of smiles, and asked innocently: "What do people outside say?" โ€

Aunt Zhou said, "Ouch, girl, you don't know. Nowadays, there are first-class villains, and if they get the things of the young lady, they will have countless accidents. I can't say that to your girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet. โ€

Ting Fang tilted her head slightly, selling a cute hand, and asked directly: "Mother, can the villains outside have spells?" โ€

Chen didn't know what she was going to say, so he replied first, "Where did the spell come from?" It's all a lie in the playbook. โ€

"Then how did they know that the hairpin ring was mine? and never wrote his name, address, or place of origin. โ€

Aunt Zhou choked and breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "How can anyone not know?" Three or five two passes and one pass, and there are three points to say if there is no shadow. The girl's family name is important. โ€

Chen sneered: "Which person who chews his tongue dares to gossip about the girl's family, he doesn't need to go back to the old lady, he will wring his tongue when he comes to me." Because she is an old man for several lifetimes, or a face in front of the master, she is just a slave, and she is also worthy of talking about the master. โ€

pointed to Sang's scolding of Huai, and only made Aunt Zhou's face red. Concubines buy and sell, in front of their wives, aren't they slaves! Pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth, and trembled when she gave birth to her brother, you look forward to your son's long life!

Ting Fang added coldly: "My aunt doesn't look at me, but also at my seventh sister." The name of the girl's family is important, people only say that it is the girl of Yefu, who is the girl who makes trouble? Please also ask your aunt to be kind to the end, and if someone mixes it up, you just have to slap her face. Ye Chen's two families are both famous families, and the brothers and sisters raised are full of gifts. It's not that indiscriminate people, who even dare to talk nonsense, and even dare to do nonsense. The villain had no choice but to 'covet the eggs that were not sewn by the flies', and there was nothing to do, but countless words were born. โ€

Aunt Zhou choked half to death, knowing that Tingfang had a lot to say, but she never knew that Tingfang was so sharp-tongued. I came to see people's jokes, but I was squeezed by someone. Patience said: "I'm kind, the girl doesn't understand." โ€

Chen smiled dignifiedly: "According to me, my aunt is too careful." Although our family is not poor, we are not rich enough to lose the gold and silver jewelry. What year did you not bring the old ones to blow up? In what year did not fall the beads, or broke the beard, or directly exchanged it for gold and redid it, or melted it and beat it again. Why be careful about that, those who don't know are still empty in our hearts. โ€

Aunt Zhou was half killed by Chen's mother and daughter singing and platooning, and she expected that she would not be pleasing today, so she casually pointed out something and threw off her handkerchief and left. When I arrived at the door, I heard a crisp sound inside, and Tingfang cried: "Mother, I don't follow me." Aunt Zhou kindly sued you, if you don't take out the slave who said bad things, I won't be able to get rid of it. I'm not afraid of being in the nest, or I'm not afraid of making trouble in front of the old lady! โ€

Mother Hu covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud, our four girls have this mouth! Don't suffer again. Thinking of Aunt Zhou's wolf bรจi, she scolded psychologically: The prostitute who made the next work hit the iron plate, right? Should!
